This is a simple form of woven stitch technique. It is used in drawn or pulled thread embroideries commonly. Woven bar consists of weaving between two sets of laid threads.

| Fig 1: Make straight stitches horizontally. | Fig 2: Bring the needle out through A, a point on the side, to begin the weaving. Now, take the needle over and under three laid threads at a time, as shown. Then, turn around and repeat the process. Do not pluck the fabric underneath. The only time the needle goes through the fabric is at the strat and end of the whole process. |

Thank you so much for your tutorials! Your instructions are so clear and I am excited to learn some new stitches. I know tutorials like these are time consuming, but the effort is very much appreciated!
Dear Rebekah,
Thanks. 🙂 Your appreciations encourage us to make this effort worthwhile.
Thanks, Sarah! What a useful resource you are! The internet is truly an amazing thing.
Dear Alison,
We are glad that you found Kasuti to be the kind of embroidery you wre looking for. 🙂 The patterns in Kasuti are geometrical and can be easily created by oneself.
I can also suggest you the reversible pattern darning, which is ideal as double sided embroidery. Check : https://www.embroidery.rocksea.org/hand-embroidery/pattern-darning/pattern-darning-lesson-2/
Best wishes with your project. 🙂
Hello Sarah
I have just found your site in my search for some simple double-sided embroidery designs to embellish a cloth book I am making for my nephew. Your Kasuti tutorials look like they might be the answer for me! (I just want some interesting shapes to sew in a few places – around the words – that will look good on the back as well as the front.) Thank you so much for putting such useful and clear assistance online … and if you have any other suggestions that I can use in my book, please let me know! Thank you!

Hi,
Does anyone out there know where I can find vintage redwork hand embroidery patterns. I am looking for children of the 1920’s or 30’3 with lots of detail, not the simple ones that were on the old pillowcases, etc. I don’t want machine embroidery designs as I have lots of them.
Thanks.
